— The number of miles driven by Google’s self-driving cars without causing an accident.

Testing began in 2010, with Nevada further paving the way (pun intended) for driverless automobiles; the state issued the first self-driving car license back in May.

It should be noted that though Google’s driverless cars haven’t caused any accidents, one was rear-ended by a car being driven by a human back in 2010.
